Abstract
    Striking differences were observed in the use of the electron acceptors involved in the degradation of organic matter by heterotrophic bacterial activity between a muddy and a sandy sediment on the same tidal flat of the Scheldt estuary. These bio-reduction reactions could have a quite different effect on the cycling of trace metals in the sediment as suggested by the results of the mobilization experiments. Trace metal speciation can be described as a function of the redox potential, in view of the fact that the latter is related to the heterotrophic bacterial activity.
